Observances are daily personal development practices that help communitarian associates to align our thoughts, words and deeds with our highest values, mission, and vision.

Each week, we observe a personal rest day to ‘take time out’ to reflect, renew, and reconnect. Observances are how we tend to the inner landscape so we can live in integrity and contribute meaningfully to shared peace and prosperity… explore more
